I bought an RSPB bird box with camera many years ago and this year I finally had a pair of blue tits nest in it and typically ... the camera stopped working. I managed to get and fit a replacement without disturbing the birds, She laid 9 eggs but I think only 7 have hatched but it is fascinating watching them, so much so that I set up another external camera to film them entering and leaving the box. Here is one of the videos that I put together

Nice footage, and I bet you're finding it very interesting watching the blue tit chicks grow.
Blue-7 said:Mike, yes and learning a lot in the process, I was amazed to see one egg crack and the female help the hatching by prising one half open and particularly surprised to see the female eat half of the egg shell. Also surprising was how the young turn around backwards to offer their droppings sack to a parent so it can take it and remove it.
It is a very good way of learning. During the first lockdown I spent a lot of time out in the garden it that was informative watching the various species go about their business. I also fid the two naturecams very informative, and it is good to keep up with the various wildlife that visits the garden night and day.
